Live Recombinant Adenovirus Vaccine Technique Explored
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are exploring ways to develop new vaccines for a variety of illnesses using genetically modified adenoviruses, a common cause of respiratory infections. Oral adenovirus vaccines have long been proven to be safe and effective. The researchers believe their process for constructing a replicating live recombinant adenovirus could lea...Contagious obesity? Identifying the human adenoviruses that may make us fat
There is a lot of good advice to help us avoid becoming obese, such as "Eat less," and "Exercise." But here's a new and surprising piece of advice based on a promising area of obesity research: "Wash your hands." There is accumulating evidence that certain viruses may cause obesity, in essence making obesity contagious, according to Leah D. Whigham, the lead researcher in a new study, "Adi...293 cell line slides ( human: kidney; transformed with adenovirus 5 DNA ) from GeneTex
Description:Human 293 cells were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium (Eagle) with 2 mM L-glutamine and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining...Mouse Anti-Adenovirus Type 7 hexon C11 Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 1-N-14 from GeneTex
Description:Mouse monoclonal [1-N-14] to Adenovirus Type 7 hexon C11 This antibody is specific for Adenovirus type 7 hexon C11....Adenoviruses Could Help Kick Drinking
A single injection of a type of virus known as adenoviruses can help give up the habit of drinking, a study indicates. Researchers have found that rats bred to crave alcohol were found to drink 50 percent less for more than a month after being injected with engineered adenoviruses. Many people in East Asia react badly to alcohol because of mutations in the gene for ald...Adenovirus 40-41 Antigens by EIA
